This is fine since it makes all simpler and eliminates a source of
inconsistency.
However IMO, it remains the fact that the "hypothetical position" is
not precisely defined:
# This position is determined after the top margin of the element
# has been collapsed with previous adjacent margins
what are exactly the "previous adjacent margins" ?
As I mentioned at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Jan/0509.html, what
about an adjacent top margin of the first inflow child of the element?
Does it enter in the set of "previous adjacent margins"?
It does not according to a naive reading of "previous", but I doubt
that the spec intention were to exclude it from the hypothetical
position computation.
